# Tableau File Types and Folders

You can save your workbook to the web by selecting File > Save to Web. You can organise and remove workbooks by logging on to Tableau Public or by clicking Manage Workbooks on the start page.

Any view saved to Tableau Public can be downloaded and saved locally on your computer, including the raw data as part of a packaged workbook (TWBX) file. This feature allows anyone with Tableau DesktopProfessional or Personal Editions, or the free Tableau Desktop Public Edition, to review and extend the analytic work that was behind the original workbook.

The downloaded workbooks can be opened using Tableau Public Desktop Edition as long as the original file remains active on Tableau Public. If the original author deletes the content from Tableau Public, then Tableau Desktop Public Edition won't be able to open the downloaded file either. Tableau Desktop Personal and Professional Editions will open files downloaded from Tableau Public even after the original has been removed from the Tableau Public server.
